Tomatoes are fruits that are considered vegetables by nutritionists. Botanically, a fruit is a ripened flower ovary and contains seeds. Tomatoes, plums, zucchinis, and melons are all edible fruits, but things like maple “helicopters” and floating dandelion puffs are fruits too.

Answer 8

It's a fruit.

It's ''the fleshy part of a plant that contains the seeds that can produce another plant''.

Vegetables are ''the other parts'' of a plant .. the leaves (spinach) the roots (carrots) the stem (asparagus) or the seeds themselves (peas)

Answer 9

Botanically, a fruit, but utilized as a veggie. Same with cucumbers and zucchinis, as those are technically fruits, as well. A fruit is defined as the usually edible reproductive body of a seed plant, so avocados and pumpkins fall into this category, too. 

Answer 10

Botanically it's a fruit.

For culinary use, it's used and referred to as a vegetable.
